Next-Gen Apple AirPods 3 Could Arrive With Touch Controls

Apple is reportedly working on future AirPods that could come with simple touch sensors instead of force detection for control for an improved experience. A new patent suggests that the tapping that is currently required to control the AirPods may be changed next time, reports Apple Insider. According to the report, Apple’s patent application is more concerned about the specifics of how such sensor routes data to the device than it is about the practical uses of the idea. Apple is also reportedly planning to add Ambient Light Sensors in future versions of AirPods to monitor data such as blood oxygen level and heart rate.
